Stanford faculty hold 'teach-in' to train climate activists
Fossil Free Stanford is a student-led environmental group at Stanford University.
On Monday, the group hosted a “teach-in” led by university faculty aimed at equipping young activists.
Environmentalist group “Fossil Free Stanford” hosted a faculty-led teach-in Monday to educate activists in their fight to convince Stanford University to divest from fossil fuels.
The teach-in was facilitated by a group of faculty and so-called experts who aimed to equip students with the information they need to become better climate activists, reported the Stanford Daily. The ultimate goal of this event and its organizing group was to compel Stanford to cease all investments in the fossil fuel industry and move to “ethical” alternatives.
“The industry wants to be able to drill where they want to, and this happens to be minority, Latinx communities."
“Based on our research, ethical investment is not less profitable,” Erica Scott, president of the Associated Students of Stanford University told The Stanford Daily.
